  FALSE IMPRISONMENT. torts. Any intentional detention of the person of 
  another not authorized by law, is false imprisonment. 1 Bald. 571; 9 N. H. 
  Rep. 491; 2 Brev. R. 157. It is any illegal imprisonment, without any 
  process whatever, or under color of process wholly illegal, without regard 
  to the question whether any crime has been committed, or a debt due. 1 Chit. 
  Pr. 48; 5 Verm. 588; 3 Blackf. 46; 3 Wend. 350 5 Wend. 298; 9 John. 117; 1 
  A. K. Marsh. 845; Kirby, 65; Hardin 249. 
       2. The remedy is, in order to be restored to liberty, by writ of habeas 
  corpus, and to recover damages for the injury, by action of trespass vi et 
  armis. To punish the wrong done to the public, by the false imprisonment of 
  an individual, the offender may be indicted. 4 Bl. Com. 218, 219; 2 Burr.
